Correct answer choice is :

B) To protect American business interests

Explanation:

The 19th century was a time of the political revolution. Captivity was eliminated, and the Second Industrial Revolution began to extensive urbanization and much greater levels of fertility, good, and success. European power made much of Asia and nearly all of Africa under a new rule. It was signed by the destruction of the Spanish, Napoleonic, Holy Roman and Mughal realms. This covered the way for the increasing importance of the British Empire, the Russian Empire, the United States, the German Empire, the French colonial empire and Meiji Japan, with the British boasting unchallenged dominance after 1815.

by 1890, the united states had by far the world's most productive economy. american industry produced twice as much as its closest competitor--britain. but the united states was not a great military or diplomatic power. its army numbered less than 30,000 troops, and its navy had only about 10,000 seamen. britain's army was five times the size of its american counterpart, and its navy was ten times bigger. the united states' military was small because the country was situated between two large oceans and was surrounded by weak or friendly nations. it faced no serious military threats and had little interest in asserting military power overseas.
